SMC41 Valescure – Laser mount for telecom laser module. Oblique view (left) and top view (right). Fiber reel and front panel not shown.

Overview

The SMC41 Valescure module has been designed to mount low-power telecom laser diode packaged in a butterfly 14-pin case. Since this module is intended to be stacked on the SMC11 Ultra-Low Noise Current source, no cable is required to connect the laser to the current controller.

The laser package can be soldered directly on the board but solderless connection is also possible using the dedicated mount flange. The RF modulation is allowed regardless the mounting option. The mounted laser is protected using a relay contact shorting the laser terminals in shutdown mode or when the module is removed from the stack.

A 6-K/W heatsink, located on the bottopm side of the module, is able to remove dissipated for most of low-power lasers. The laser case is fixed on this heatsink using a high-conductivity  thermal pad and M2 screws (4x).

The optical fiber is retained on the board using clamps to form a reel compatible with its minimum bend radius. An FC/APC to FC/APC connector is located on the front panel  to connect the laser plug to the user cord.

Compatible Laser

  • RIO Planex™.
  • EP1550-NLW-B
  • 1905 LMI
  • A1915LMI
  • FRL15DCW

Non-exhaustive list,  contact us for more information on compatible lasers.

Laser mounting options: left,  the laser is soldered on the dedicated footprint (standard). The laser can be mounted using the flange (right) to avoid soldering. In both cases the RF modulation is allowed.

High-Frequency Ripple Attenuation. The transient at 600 kHz riding the output voltage of the SMPS (yellow) is completely suppressed from the SDM11's output (blue). Broaband spikes are also attenuated about 20dB.
Low-Frequency Noise Attenuation - Spectral Densities. The SMPS noise (green) is attenuated by the SDM11 (blue) over the entire range. More than 65dB at 50 kHz. Noise floor (orange).
Broadband Attenuation of SMPS Noise - Power Spectra. Switching spikes lead to a wideband noise: SMPS (yellow) and filtered SMPS using the SDM11 module (blue).

Applications

  • Cost effective solution for power supply noise sensitive systems
  • Switched mode power supply filtering
  • Linear power supply replacement
  • Ideal for rapid and reliable prototyping

Overview

The SDM11 Post-Regulator module is aimed at noise reduction of switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). Indeed, if SMPS are very attractive for their high eciency and small size, they are much noisier than their linear counterparts. While the linear power supplies’ noise mainly consists in ripple voltage at line harmonics, the DC-output voltage of SMPS presents ripple at frequencies ranging from 100 kHz to 1000 kHz and broadband noise, which is transmitted from the switcher through common-mode and dierential-mode coupling.

The SDM11 Post-Regulator module operates from the DC-output of an SMPS. It features a passive filter attenuating both common-mode and dierential-mode components of the SMPS’s output. A low-dropout voltage regulator provides an active attenuation of the SMPS’s ripple for frequencies up to 1MHz. An additional output lter extends this frequency range beyond 10MHz.

Because the SDM11 is capable of delivering output voltages from 3V to 30V under 2-A current levels, the SDM11 is the perfect choice to lter the noise of low-power SMPS. A control input is provided to allow power shutdown from an isolated remote signal. The power device is both protected against overloading or overheating operations. The current limitation can be adjusted by modifying a resistor. Likewise, the user
can set the output voltage using two programming resistors. The SDM11 is attached to the chassis both using a DIN-rail adapter or M3 screws.

Contact Sisyph

Applications

  • Stroboscopic magnetic imaging TEM

Overview

The modules of the SMD-Series provide the experimentalists a complete line of instruments for the generation of short pulses at high repetition rates. First designed for stroboscopic magnetic imaging TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), the SMD-Series offers a complete solution to deliver sub-nanosecond pulses into 50-loads at repetition rates ranging from DC to 10MHz.
The SMD30 Mézenc module allows the user to control the SMD-Series modules through serial commands coming from a computer. These commands must be sent to the module via an external asynchronous serial data converter. For a safe and reliable operation, it is recommended to use the SMZ320 module as USB to serial data interface, this module allowing an optical isolation of the SMD modules from the computer. For long distances or operation in noisy environments, the SMZ320 interface module also provides an optical link based on plastic optical fibers.
In order to control the SMD-Series modules, the SMD30 module features an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter, a serial control bus (SPI) and many digital I/Os, which are all managed by a microcontroller.
The front panel accomodates led indicators, switches and coaxial connectors as a minimalistic user interface since most of control operations should be done using the remote interface.
Gathering other SMD-Series modules, the SR500 Pulse Generator is the ideal solution to generate high voltage sub-nanosecond pulses at high repetition rate (10MHz) for stroboscopic magnetic imaging TEM.
With the additional SMZ320 Serial Interface module, the SR500 gives the user a complete control of the pulse generator over USB or optical interfaces.
